A Pennsylvania farmer near PhG-
nixville is waging a successful war on
the ground hog, which, as every farm
er knows, does much damage to mead
ows. His method is to fill beer or
porter bottle with powder, letting a
fuse run through the cork. He then
places the bottle in the ground hogs
hole, with the fuse projecting outside,
taking care to pack the earth tightly
at the mouth of the hole and close up
firmly all other holes leading to the
home of the doomed animal. Then
the fuse is fired, and the result is that
all the ground hogs in the hole are
killed by the concussion.-N Y Sun.

says that the best roads in the world
are found in British India. The
Grand Trunk road is 1000 miles,
an unbroken highway of marvellous
perfection, from Pershawar on the
Afghan frontier to Calcu ia. 1t is
made of smooth, hard, natural con-
crete, beds of which lie along the
line.
How such roads would be APP

dangers entities him to all his hon.

The fast riding champion of the
world, however, is Richard How
ell, of Leicester, England. He is a
splendidly made fellow, between
* and 80 years of age, six feet high
and weighing, in training, about
loo pounds.
He commenced riding in 1879
and in 1881, at Belgrav1a grounds,
Leicester, he won the one mile
championship of the world, beat
ing ali the best men of the day.
From that time his career has
herp one Of almost unbrokeu suc-
